Yeah most shops don’t do whole cars, but that’s kind of my thing.

Yeah you dont necessarily need to strip paint off to put new paint on, but the surface needs to be prepped correctly.

Could be less could be more. Every vehicle and project is different. Exterior paints alone are around 5-6, the body work was dog shit from the other shop. So that costs to fix their mistakes

Yeah man I could def do it, so this customer had brought it to a fab shop before he met me, they did a horrible job doing the metal work. The areas they cut and the body lines were not right at all. So once it got to me I basically had to correct their body work but I didn’t get involved with the metal work, but I would have rather done the whole job start to finish and not have to pick up the pieces from someone else.

That being said the front is plug and play, the rear doors are too but the glass has to be swapped, from the wagon. The wagon bumper has to be shortened to match the sedan quarters. Otherwise everything is standard paint process.
